And anyways, my point was not lol soccer fans, it was lol people who waive scarves above their heads because they saw it on a youtube video

yeah they are wannabes

good thing is that they excite passion and will grow the MLS until it's an elite league.

i guess its more that positive plays in other sports result in tangible attributions. points yards baskets runs hits catches. make a nice play in soccer and its nothing.

To expand on this point:

Most of your friends agree, soccer is bad, lol soccer. But soon a few of them start dropping phrases like '4-4-2' and 'did you see the London derby last night?' into casual conversation. You tell yourself its just a fad, but more and more of them are doing it. Soon they are getting up early to catch the EPL action, before going down to the pub with the lads to watch the MLS. Your few remaining loyal anti-soccer friends are being seduced by talk of CITY VS UTD and BARCA VS REAL. Now no one wants to discuss NASCAR with you, but at least you haven't broken, oh no, you will remain anti-soccer till the end. Finally it happens, you reach your breaking point. You catch your best friend discussing the finer points of zonal vs man to man marking on corners. Desperately, you beg him to watch the hot dog eating contest with you later over a few bud lights but he politely declines, and turns away to continue his soccer conversation and his pint of ale. Dejected, you run home in tears. You toss yourself off so as to speed up the onset of sleep, a dream world in which soccer is still a joke, and you are still a man.

rat city rollergirls enjoy more support over here that the thunderbirds.

weird. i always thought youtube videos of people waiving scarves above their heads were indistinguishable from each other.

Went tonight to see the Winterhawks lose 7-2 to Kamloops in the WHL playoffs and they drew just over 10,000. Not too bad.

seattle regular season points - 52. portland regular season points - 102. it would help to have a team that's good at their job. but hey, they had a guy playing at the world junior championships... for switzerland.

and everett isn't much better.

in contention for POTY imo

counterpoint: lolsoccer

Lol Everett.

don't be scared dkgo, accept the inevitable.

Says the guy who plays FIFA, football manager, fails at soccer drafts on this forum, and briefly bandwagoned Ajax football club.

Good thing you always have racist to fall back on.

the realest places always have the most poseurs and dilettantes, that's just life

lol baidsaint..

We are pretty awesomely real here tbh. Most people would like it here unless they were from the lolsouth.

Edit: the weather is pretty mediocre for like 7 months.

It's my favorite place, and I spent my first 18 years in Alabama.

thank you to whoever banned four2k. your modding is appreciated

I assume by MLS fans you mean Canucks fans.

What's NASCAR? Some kind of car that you drive on the moon or something?

tabspace>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>tabe nter

none of those involve spending two hours watching guys kick the ball back and forth without scoring

yeah the beauty is that you can hit tab with the left pinky and then space with the thumb, which is easier than moving the right hand over to hit enter
